Hi, I have been going off the rails lately and eating too much sugar, cakes etc and drinking a little more wine than normal so I was thinking of giving myself a bit of a boost to get back on track and was wondering if as a Type 2 I could go on Slim fast for a couple of weeks or would I be doing more harm than good.

High in carbs about 25 grams per portion, low in protein only about 10 grams per portion.

So I would say no.


You could make your own high-protein, low-carb shake using protein powder, a tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter, unsweetened almond or coconut milk, and a sugar-free sweetener.

Just noticed this is your first post so would like to say Hi and welcome to the forum
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.

I would say no to the shakes. You could google keto protein shakes. Do remember that liquids are going hit your system a lot faster than something like bacon and eggs.
 
I'd be another no..
Eat freshly prepared food mainly meat, fish and eggs.
You'll do far better than starving yourself on factory produced rubbish.
 
Got to agree with the majority here . It’s a. No from me . I had to use slim fast when had my jaw wired up for 6 weeks . Not only the carbs thing but they taste like @@##
 
Hi. I would also say no to SF or any branded diet. Just have a low-carb diet with fats and proteins as needed to keep you feeling full. Treat it as a life-style for the rest of your life and not a short-term 'diet'.
 
Negative. The best antidote to artificial food - is food - not artificial food with water.

Only in my opinion, of course. I'm very sure that many would disagree.
 
Too much sugar in it for me - I've tried it and my BGs bounced up and down so much that I constantly felt under the weather. The latte flavour shake tasted lovely though.
